What do you have in mind as a cycling goal for 2014? No matter what you decide to do; remember to always have fun doing it!
This year is going to be all about simplicity-less is more! My primary goal is to plan and take at least one self-organized cycling adventure per month around California or wherever else comes to mind. The RV has no boundaries! I will continue to have fun and simply enjoy being on the bike and ride with no time constraints, no average speed to maintain and no concern for obtaining a certain amount of miles. I want to see everything and not miss anything! Life can be as simple or as complicated as we choose to make it.
Check in on me periodically and see what adventure lies ahead!
